Chapter 319 - Hijacking (1/2)

Inside a plane heading for Central City.

”Drinks, sir?”

A flight attendant approached Michael and asked.

Michael turned his attention towards her and smiled as he replied, ”Thank you, but no”

The flight attendant didn't say anything as she quickly turned around with a red face and hurriedly walked away.

'So hot and handsome!'

Michael gazed at the clouds outside the window.

'I can't wait to return soon, but dang, I had surely missed a lot of things in the game. I wonder how they are doing?'

Suddenly, his ears suddenly started twitching as he frowned because he could hear the distinct screams coming from the back.

”Nobody moves, or you're dead!”

”Ahhh!”

A group of men wearing masks and armed with handguns suddenly barged inside the first-class section and the panicky women quickly started screaming in fear.

”Please calm down!”

Even though the legs of the flight attendants are shaking in fear, they still tried to calm the distressed crowd as the hijackers quickly gathered all of them in one corner so that they could easily ”look after” them.

'What the f*ck!? Why do troubles always crop up whenever I go!?'

Michael rolled his eyes in laughter as he just allowed one of the masked to push him around while being threatened with a handgun behind him.

”Move!”

The masked man pushed Michael towards the cowering group of passengers and flight attendants.

Michael squatted down with his hands behind his head, and when he looked around, he didn't expect that the flight attendant that he was just talking to earlier would be squatting beside him.

”Hi, what a bad day, isn't it?”

”Ah? Ye..yeah”

Michael smiled at the woman, and the latter couldn't help but look at him in surprise as she didn't expect that this man in front of her looks completely calm when their life is being threatened.

”It sure is”

Michael looked away after talking to her and started observing the people guarding them.

'They don't like terrorists, so they are probably just hijackers who will demand ransom for our safety, classic movie cliche. I wonder who's the dumb idiot among the aircrew that cooperated with this group of people?'

'But they are not armed with high caliber weapons but only handguns, probably just a group of hijackers who are new to the underground world, pathetic bunch. Isn't robbing a bank better than hijacking a plane? At least they would have a lot of options in escaping'

'Hijacking a plane means that the only option they had for escaping ”if” there are no mishaps is flying the plane away. So, that means one of the pilots is working with them'

'Haaa...what an annoying bunch of people'

”Shut up, or I'll f*cking kill you!”

One of the masked men had gotten fed up with the whining and crying of the hostages as he walked up towards them and pointed his gun towards a crying old woman who is being hugged by a man, probably her son or grandson, who looked at the masked man with anger.

”What!? You want to die, you brat!?”

The masked man pushed the handgun's muzzle on the man's forehead, his voice filled with disdain towards them.

The man on the receiving end of this humiliation just gritted his teeth in anger before lowering his head.

”That's right, lower your head like the dog you are, or I'll kill you the next time you look at me like that again!”

The man swept his eyes towards the hostages, as they quickly lowered their heads avoiding eye contact with him, afraid it might anger him further and might kill one of them.

'A soldier?'

Michael thought as he could feel a familiar aura from the man who is hugging the old woman in his arms.

Michael just keeps looking around until he stopped and decided not to do anything as long as they don't kill someone. So, he just sat lazily with his hands on the floor.

”Ar...aren't you afraid?”

”Me? Nah, just as long as they don't trouble me”

Michael whispered back at the flight attendant, while the woman just looked at him with a confused look on her face, and Michael just smiled at that as he didn't want to elaborate further.

*****

”I want two hundred million dollars as a ransom for my hostages…”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The masked man who had taken the c.o.c.kpit hostage hadn't even finished talking about his demands when the sound of gunshot started ringing behind them.

”Go check it out, those bastards better not be killing my hostages!”

The leader was angered and quickly gestured at his only companion to go outside and check out what's happening behind them.

”Okay”
